Either way, the airflow illustration is still incorrect. Cool air In from the top (which is genius because it keeps the disk in the drive cool) and heat comes out from the bottom (the bottom half of the ps3 is pretty much all heatsink, so it blows out from the rear and side. If you have a newer phat ps3 (40gb, 80gb) then the entire side is an intake and just the rear is exhaust. The front i believe has always been an intake.

Bookshelf: Just a correction on the pic you made. That’s a 60gb ps3 if im not mistaken… Cool air is pulled IN around the bluray drive and front vents and the heat is blown OUT from the bottom side and rear.Obviously you can’t tell if air is being sucked in or blown out….

Hold a tissue. 80gb
